Chapter 79

When Edel asked about the shortage of funds, he also put down the construction plan for the diesel engine factory. Everything has to wait for the success of speculation to complete one's own ideas.

　　Edel can only carry on with the regret in his heart, and continue to be busy with other domestic affairs. A guard walked in and spoke to the crown prince who was working hard. "His Royal Highness, this is a report completed by General Puleshan who invited His Highness to participate in the compilation and training of the 12th Division."

　　 After hearing the guard's words, Edel took the report and looked. Because the completion of the military reorganization is a major event, the royal inspection has become a repertoire. In order to cultivate Edel's influence in the army, Carol I was presided over by Edel every time except for the first reorganization.

　　 "The ceremony in Galati on October 14th, there are ten days left, so I can just go out and have a look." The crown prince thought inwardly.

　　 "Tell General Puleshan, I will preside over." Edel told the guards.

　　 "Good lord."

　　 Ten days later, Edel came to Bucharest Railway Station and met Pule Mountain, who had been waiting. After some greetings, the group boarded the train bound for Galati, and as usual, Puleshan sat with the crown prince.

　　 "How about the reorganization of the army recently." Edel asked Puleshan.

"This year is not bad. The reorganization of the 12th Division has been completed. The 15th Division's artillery and machine guns are still a little different, but the problem is not big. The arsenal has already coordinated, and these equipment will be sent over next month. But next year It's a bit difficult." Puleshan told the crown prince truthfully, and by the way, he said about the difficulties of the next year.

　　 "What happened next year?"

　　 Facing the crown prince's question, the chief of staff clarified the problem. "Next year, there will be three divisions of the tenth and seventeenth-fourth (no 13th) divisions. There will be a certain gap in qualified officers, mainly technical officers, especially military doctors and veterinarians."

　　 When Edel heard Puleshan's complaint, he couldn't help it. A qualified medical doctor in the army must be an excellent surgeon, who knows how to perform amputations, and know how to catch colds and fevers. You also need to be strong and not too old. This requirement is very high in Romania, a country where medical conditions are not good. Doctors with this technique are very popular in all major hospitals. Faced with the high salaries of the hospitals, the points given by the military are completely inadequate.

　　 The veterinarian's situation is the same. They are all faced with a salary that is much lower than outside. Although they promote patriotism every day, salary is something that concerns their own interests, many people still choose the realistic side. Some people may ask why the salary is not increased. If they are raised separately, it will destroy the salary structure of the army and cause more dissatisfaction, which is not worth the gain.

　　 "This problem can only be found within the army, such as transferring people with academic qualifications and talents to study, and letting him work for the army for fifteen years, as compensation for training expenses." Edel suggested to think of the previous life.

　　 After hearing the crown prince's suggestion, Puleshan could only smile in his heart. The crown prince's method is too time-consuming. It takes at least three years to train a qualified military doctor, usually five years, and the cost is not cheap.

　　 "Your Highness, I will seriously consider your suggestions."

　　 After finishing Tai Chi, General Puleshan felt that he wanted to avert the topic. "His Royal Highness, let's improve the training syllabus for soldiers. Do we need to see it?"

　　Puleshan's words made Edel a little interested. "This can be seen."

　　 After hearing that the crown prince was interested, Puleshan called to a young officer. "Antonescu brought the training plan."

　　 After Edel heard Puleshan's words, his expression was a little taken aback. But it changed back immediately and was not seen by the chief of staff.

　　 Edel looked closely at this young captain named Antonescu, who had a high acquaintance with the dictator of World War II, but he looked much younger. In Edel's mind, he seemed to be him.

　　 Captain Antonescu walked up to the chief of staff with the document, handed it to him, and turned to leave.

"This is an officer who has only recently been transferred to the General Staff. He used to be a platoon leader in the Cavalry Division. He is a good guy." Puleshan saw the crown prince look at Antonescudo for a few moments, as if he felt more impressed. He started talking about his interest.

　　 "A soldier who can be praised by the chief of staff must be excellent."

　　 Hearing that the crown prince is really interested in this Antonescu, the chief of staff intends to give this officer a chance to him. "Antonescu, come here."

　　 Under the envious eyes of many young officers, Antonescu came to Puleshan and Edel again. Looking at the young officer walking in front of him, Puleshan told him. "Introduce yourself to the crown prince."

　　 Antonescu said after a military salute. "Okay, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff."

　　 "His Royal Highness, I was born in 1882, I am 27 years old and I am from Pitesti. I have been honored to be a soldier from my father's generation since I was young..."

　　 Under Antonescu's introduction, Edel learned that he was born in a family of cavalry officers in Pitesti in 1882, and later became a soldier following family traditions. In 1898, he entered a school dedicated to the children of officers. In 1902, he was admitted to the infantry and cavalry officer school. In 1904, he graduated with the first place in the class. Before coming to the General Staff, he served as the platoon leader of the Cavalry Division.

　　 After listening to Antonescu's explanation, Edel can be sure that he is the man who tried to save Romania in World War II. Although he did a lot of wrong things later, there was no problem in using him as an officer. It is not appropriate to do anything to encourage him now, so let him learn more from Puleshan's side. With a decision, Edel told him.

　　 "Captain Antonescu, you have a very good family. Your own efforts have also yielded results. I hope you will make a great contribution to Romania in the future."

　　 In the face of the crown prince's praise, the Captain Antonescu replied to ~www.mtlnovel.com~ with a face of humiliation, thanks to your highness for the expectation, I will take it as my goal. "

　　 After seeing the crown prince had finished questioning, General Puleshan told him. "Captain Antonescu, go and take care of your own affairs."

　　 After hearing this, Antonescu paid a military salute to the crown prince and the chief of staff and left.

　　 Seeing Antonescu leaving, Edel told General Plesan. "Give him a training place in Germany this year."

　　 "His Royal Highness intends to train him."

　　 Facing Puleshan's inquiry, Edel said. "Give him a chance, it depends on how much he can learn."

　　 On the other side of the carriage, Antonescu who had returned was surrounded by several staff officers.

　　 "Hi, Antonescu, it's really good luck for you to be summoned by the crown prince and the chief of staff. You will be promoted in the future, but you can't forget us." A staff officer laughed and praised. The staff officer's words made several officers nodded in agreement.

　　 "Okay Mikey Icu, don't make fun of me, I almost sweat in front of the crown prince and the chief of staff." Antonescu said to the staff officer.

　　 "Why is it not me who summoned me? I want to sweat too." The staff officer named Mikeyiku asked reluctantly.

　　 "That's because you are not handsome enough." Antonescu made a witty remark, which resolved the problem. Several other officers who heard the explanation spoke to the staff officer with a smile. "Did Mikeyiku see it? This is the gap."

　　 "That's right."

　　 The troopers of the officers did not affect Antonescu. As a person who has dreamed of military officers since he was a child, now is just his starting point.

　　 The train arrived at Galati in the afternoon, and the work of completing the 12th division for the review and reorganization has just begun.
